Dirck Rembrantsz van Nierop
Dirck Rembrantsz van Nierop (1610 – 4 November 1682) was a seventeenth-century Dutch cartographer, mathematician, surveyor, astronomer, shoemaker and Mennonite teacher.[1][2]
Life
[edit]Van Nierop was born and died at Nieuwe Niedorp ("Nierop"), Holland (now in North Holland). Several times he visited René Descartes in Egmond-Binnen. The philosopher was so impressed by Van Nierop's knowledge that he even brought him to the attention of Constantijn Huygens and Frans van Schooten.[3] He has more than thirty scientific publications to his name. He also has many designs of sundials to his name. In addition he was a consultant in the field of navigational charts and active for the Dutch VOC. He was the teacher of later celebrities such as:
- Jan Albertsz van Dam (teacher Czar Peter the Great, Hoorn 1717)
- Pieter Rembrantsz van Nierop (author of numerous books such as almanacs)
- Cornelis Pietersz Neuvel to Embden
